Homes and weather in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is a port and industrial town on the Zululand coast, with suburbs like Meerensee, Arboretum and Aquadene, and nearby Empangeni and Esikhaleni. Homes are mostly face-brick or plastered houses, townhouses and flats built since the 1970s. Hot humid weather, salt air and heavy summer rain cause rust on gates and bars, mould, stained ceilings and leaking flat roofs. Termites are very active, and sandy coastal soils shift under paving and boundary walls. Typical jobs include waterproofing, painting, gutters, burglar bars, gate motors and garage door repairs. Load-shedding makes battery backup for gates a priority. Local merchants supply most materials, with extra stock coming from Durban.
Typical carpentry requests in the area come from:
- Coastal homes: replacing timber damaged by damp with treated wood and rust-resistant fixings
- Suburban houses: building cupboards, repairing door frames and fitting skirting in family homes
- Townhouses and security estates: fitting shelves and built-in units without disturbing neighbours in shared walls
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: making space-saving cupboards and shelves that suit small rooms and alcoves
- Township homes and extensions: repairing door frames and building simple shelving in extensions and backyard rooms
- Shops, offices and rentals: fitting counters, shelving and partitions in shops and offices
